Subject: Does anybody know anything about fishing??

I this is a REALLY long shot but here I go. I just got a pretty cool fishing rod, problem is its my first and I have no -blam!- clue how to set it up. My parents also made the great choice to buy it off Amazon which is fine really but now I have no clue who ask for help setting it up, the rod had no reviews on Amazon either...great.

Can anyone help me out here? I just need to know what reel I would need for it and what other dodads are needed as the rod only came with itself...and nothing else apparently.. :/

The rod.

Yeah... I'm that cool.
Robot Academy. Kinda sorta the best group on here.

There's probably a fishing store around somewhere. Just go there, show the rod you got and explain that you're new to fishing and that you need advice and supplies. I'm sure they'll help you out more than anyone here will.

Yeah you're probably right. Just thought I'd give here a go because you really never know with the Flood.

That's true, although I'd be surprised if anyone here could help you out with this. It would probably help if you'd share the exact model of fishing rod you got, provided pictures and more detailed questions and specified on what you wanted to do with it. I can only imagine that different types of fish and areas you'll be fishing in require different kinds of reels, bait and the likes.

But then again, the chances that someone here will be able to help you better than a fishing store could are so slim that it's probably not worth the effort going through listing all the things I mentioned above.

1. Santa got the present for me! not him.
2. He knows NOTHING about fishing.
3. You're drunk, go home.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Try either this video or the linked videos from the same guy, my friend likes fishing and when I asked him he said that Youtube channel should be good
